When A Page Becomes More

July 7th, 2021

I wish this page could write itself. Maybe it would tell me the answers to my never-ending questions, maybe it would speak the future, maybe it would be one line or maybe it would become alive in a way I’ve never known. But, maybe this page has always been writing itself, because I’ve been on adventures I never knew existed – adventures through the beyond.

It’s funny when there is so much on my mind, that it’s tricky to write about one single thing. I wish I could get it all out, or maybe the page could do it for me. I’m starting to realize the page has always been me, the keyboard has always been me, the delete button has always been me, the space button has always been me – the expression has always been me.

I can’t shake this weird feeling that I’ve written this before. Maybe in another land, maybe in a dream, maybe in a past, maybe in a different time, but for sure as this me. I love riding every impossible through the vast oceans of daydreaming, I love watching my beliefs dance in the wind and drift off into each sunset. And then a little bird rests on my shoulder and grounds me in the roots of truth once again, then I feel at home in the meadows of my wonders.

When I write, this page listens. When I write, this page speaks. When I write, this page is. There’s a beauty to the beingness of this page, it goes beyond the divine. I can feel its thoughts as I type and delete something, I can feel its smile as I keep writing through my “mistakes”. I wish I could feel its future, I wish I could feel its clarity. But that’s one thing about this page, it is never crystal clear because crystal clear takes away the adventures.

So, would this page be truly whole if it had an ending? Would this page be complete if it had a concrete beginning? Or is this page cemented in time because the unknown flows through?

For now, this is just another musing of a curious soul who lives in the adrenaline of the beyond.

When I was created
The stars and space awaited
My soul chose this body’s suit
Together, we’re on this route

I wish I knew why
But maybe it’s in the eye
Something in me is waiting to fly
I can see the envisioned sky

Love chose me
I chose the key
Unlocking a deeper fate
Opening destiny’s gate

There’s a longing to be home
To forever escape this dome
I live in the beyond
Right now, we just correspond

Skin cloaked my divine glow
Bones clasped my eternal flow
When I chose this place
I savored the chase

The Next Time

July 4th, 2021

You’re the waves, reality is the sand and I am the ocean in-between. You’re the ups and downs, the whitewash and the clear blue – the rises and the falls. The sand is always there, keeping everything in perspective. And I am just all that comes between the two; maybe I’m the creatures, maybe I’m the shells, maybe I’m the abyss, or maybe I’m just the air in-between every wave. But this beach is always mine. No matter what the perceived label is, I get to create every ounce of my vision.

Even though I am creating this dream of life, I am still living it just as much. So, as every wave hits me, I experience it as something new. There is that little twinge of nostalgia, but it’s nothing more than a distant familiarity. I could live each rise over and over; I could live each fall over and over. Without those “falls”, I would’ve never known how good each rise felt. I just wish I could remember that when I’m in the fall.

So, the next time the waves come crashing down, I’ll be there for my intuition. I’ll listen at its first call, and I’ll let the blurry whispers of fear float away. The next time the waves come crashing down, I’ll breathe in the opportunity. I’ll remind myself the rise is coming. The next time the waves come crashing down, I’ll say thank you. After all, freedom is in loving the fall.

So, the next time I ride the waves with ease, I’ll breathe and soak it all in. I’ll savor every moment and take my time riding. The next time I ride the waves with ease, I’ll pay attention to my emotions. I’ll watch the flow create its waves in me. The next time I ride the waves with ease, I’ll clear out everything else. I’ll forget the external clutter and the internal hustle – I’ll lean into my peace.

Every “next time” is just my ever-changing “now”

beautiful spots

A little caterpillar on a big oak tree,
Falling in love with the hide and see,
(finding the best spot for shade,
blending in with the bark, making a small mark).
Turning over a new leaf
Or at least trying, adding belief.
Tumbling from branches, hitting the ground,
Life’s great adventure lies in playing around.
(No creature could have been stiller
when it came to pursuing the big dreams)?

Inching to crawl,
Hearing the call,
(Beyond words and thoughts, it was coming)
Something so deep,
A cry to evolve, a deafening weep.
(A dance within, change was looming in place).

With another slither,
The cocoon whispered, “come hither”
Everything became s l o w,
Sky and sight disappeared.
(All was blank, in this blanket’s show).

Ace + Aarushi

over time

Hugging its skin like gentle fluff,
The cocoon became soothing,
Breaking the warmth, becoming rough,
Cold air brushed the new body – blooming.
Like a flower that came to life,
Testing its wings like they were petals,
The butterfly took a flight,
A new world went into view,
The flapping wings appeared blue,
Something ineffable, only divine,
As if nothing could take away its sun-kissed shine,
It floated over the trees,
Tasting nature’s nectar, finally free.
Ready to make another leap,
Fear started to weep.
The adrenaline of truly being alive,
Was such a magical dive.
Something inside was afraid fear would arrive,
But through a smile of the eyes,
And a breath of love,
So many more surprises
Awaited these wings delicately above.

Ace + Aarushi

The Familiar Portal

June 30th, 2021

Vision goes blurry, my reality becomes blank. All I can do is hear and feel, and I smile at that comfort because, sometimes, all the labels are overwhelming.

The chirping birds come first, but, they quickly fade. As I go through my day’s events, Mom’s voice starts speaking to me showing me all the little lessons. Her voice evolves into the Universe’s, me. This chill and tingling feeling comes over my still being as I find comfort in the voice that’s speaking to me. I know it’s my higher self, but, the more I listen, the more I let go of labels.

“Remember, this life is but a blink. A seemingly big event to you, is a speck to the infinite Universe you really are inside.”

As my conversation ends for now, music’s soft hum and clear words come through. Music is like my invisible blanket – always comforting my soul, warming my heart, soothing my mind and taking away anything cold. I find peace in lyrics and vibrations in tunes; and when they magically come together, harmony is achieved. Music triggers my memories and now they’re dancing together. Lyrics take the stage, then an associated memory joins, the lights start flashing and I instinctually know the lights are the tunes. Then it becomes the ultimate paradox – my mind’s eye and my ear’s feelings.

As the music evaporates into my being, everything begins to fade into the astral world. But, I’m still awake enough in this reality to soak in the coziness of my warm bed, the tenderness of the pillow holding my head and the cool breeze of the fan above. Then, my mind picks something else to bring me back. People start visiting; he shows up, then her and then my imagination chooses to wander around and turn them into my perfection. All my thoughts suddenly want a turn, so, I breathe deeply and access that soothing universal voice from before.

“This is all an illusion. I choose my dreams, I choose the beyond. The divinity within this speck of a moment is my creation. Mind, thank you for your memories and lessons. Ears, thank you for the adventures. Through love, through stillness and through my stardust – I ascend, I always choose.”

With that, I drift off to my other home. And when I awake, I’ll repeat the same process to enter this world, this home. It’s the eternal seesaw of the Universe and this portal is becoming familiar.

within

June 29th, 2021

I am more than meets the eye

Tomorrow is a new day, but I’ve already lived it
Realizing this is all my imagination from another dimension
United by love, all is an illusion
Stillness is my deeper peace of the divine
Thoroughly alive through every crevice of my breath

Maybe just tell me I’m not dancing alone
You’re within me, but can we have a conversation in my dream?

I guess the mystery is the magic
Next life, I’d like to learn that sooner
Nestling in my aura, I see you
Every past, future and now all blend together
Resting in my flame, brewing in my eternity

Mortality is this life’s catch
Endings aren’t bitter, they don’t really exist
Loving this cycle, I go round and round
Oozing with wonder through every motion
Dazed by the flow’s adrenaline
Yesterday is an old day, but I haven’t lived it

I trust my inner melody

I love writing acrostic poetry, and it’s been a little while since I’ve done one. If you’re new to that style, it just means the first letter of every line creates a special phrase. Acrostic poems are truly an adventure and a discovery to create, I encourage you to give it a try! So, what is the phrase here?

Thank you so much for reading. I hope this helps you on your journey! Be fearless and free -Ace
From This Me To Another

June 27th, 2021

Dear The Deepest Me:

I know you’re watching me somewhere. I know you’ve already lived this timeline, this dimension and this adventure. And I know you are always guiding me. It’s in all these ‘knowings’ that I smile and sigh, because I know I am being taken care of.

When I speak to you in my head or in my dreams, it feels almost nostalgic. As if we’ve had these deep conversations before, maybe in another life or as another fragment of me. We don’t talk as much anymore because I know you truly see me. I know I don’t need words to tell you how I feel or what’s going on in my soul, because you are my soul and more.

I see you illuminating paths on my journey. I see you before you even appear. I’m starting to predict where you’re going to go, what test is coming next and what experience is around the corner. I can feel your nudges and your knocks, I can finally hear you. So, yesterday when you gave me that mini test, I wasn’t surprised. You told me in my dream that it was coming, and I smiled in the unknowns of how you’d make it happen. And even though it did happen, and it did affect me, it felt so good to sit in the comfort of knowing it was truly meant to be and only to help me. So, maybe this life is just my projection and all experiences are simply a test on my journey (the bigger test)?

You’re not just there in my tests, you’re there in my happiness. If happiness was a sun, you’d be the core and the rays, while happiness would simply be the label to define it. I saw you in my smile, and then the galaxies revealed themselves in my eyes. I saw you in my conversation with another reflection of you. You know connection has a special place in my being, connection is a deeply intertwined creation. Even though I may be connecting with a different person, I’m really just connecting with another presentation of you. So, I saw you in him and I saw you in her – I see you in all.

Labels and words get so confusing when I’m writing to you because you are beyond this society’s definition of “correct”. I know your language speaks all and knows all these emotions so deeply; I have no fear that you get my message. I fearlessly believe you in all the ways you’re aligning my escapades. Even though the unknowns still get to me and I’m still learning to let go, even though free thinking is still foreign to people and I still don’t understand it – I still trust you. Through it all, you are always me and I am always you. So, my body isn’t just skin and bones, it’s love.

Love,

This Piece Of Me
out of the game

June 25th, 2021

I’m out of the game
I think you’re the same
I’m spinning toward your love-shaped energy
From the distance, I could smell our synergy

I’m out of the game
I think you’re who I became
I’ll remember your voice in every phase
As we navigate through this endless maze

I’m out of the game
I think you’re more than imagination’s flame
I saw you in our connected visions
Whispering to let the flow guide decisions

I’m out of the games
I think my mind’s eye still frames
A picture of trust
That no amount of time could rust

I’m out of the game
I think I’ve grown into more than my name
But with your divine trace
I might grow beyond space

I’m out of the game
And never to get back in
But with your graceful aim
I might let reality re-begin

Ace + Benjamin

And here’s the image version 💚💙

A big thank you to my dear friend, Ben, for working with me again (of course, it rhymes 😊)!! It was truly amazing…this piece was born so organically and came to life in such a synchronistic way. We hope this inspires you to step out of the game and let reality re-begin!!
New Video, DANCE, Out Now!!!!

June 24th, 2021

Dance – 1:52

This video came to be so naturally. Literally a few days ago, I was just talking to my mom, and then all of the sudden I randomly said, “I think I’m going to make a new video.” 😂 And this new single, Dance, was born! I really love this video and the dance to it. It has such a strong message that I’ve been feeling lately – dance to all the ups and downs life brings! I hope this video empowers you to harness your dance, lean into life’s dance and then remember both dances are one. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video!! Be fearless and free -Ace

The Instinct Series

June 22nd, 2021

up and down

Up and down
I’m an ocean
I’ll never drown
Connected to love’s devotion

Up and down
I am free
My smile is my crown
My aura is my tree

Up and down
Soaking in change
Living from my galaxy’s town
I’ll never derange

Down and up
Liquid light fills my cup
I am a cherished love
Floating within and above

stop

Riding the sun on a beam
Sailing the ocean on a dream
I land on a hope
Jumping this eternal rope
Something inside is calling
Something outside is falling
Following the paradox’s rustle
I lean into the hustle
My heart stops to beat
My mind stops to become complete
My intuition stops to listen
My soul stops to glisten
And it’s in those stops, I see
Life is a stop
Of a bigger degree

blood, sweat, tears

Some say, “I’ll give you all my blood, sweat, and tears”
As though love and fulfillment take so many years
But when I found you in me
All I said was, “I trust you”
And you opened my reality to every view
You believed in all our conversations
Manifested my dreams through our declarations
And even though I did give you all my blood, sweat, and tears
You would’ve been there even if I didn’t for years
You always found your way in my ears
I could never hide
From your powerful guide
As I let those words dive
I feel our little jive
I hear my eyes smile
And it’ll last a while
Because through all my blood, sweat, and tears
You’ll be with me through every single mile
And as I realize you are me, how could one have any fears?
